Welcome to bedtime stories for everyone, in which nothing much happens. You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

I create everything you hear on nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Widdersheim.

We give to a different charity each week, and as a proud Flintstone I'm glad that this week we are giving to shelter of Flint

Now here's how this works. We need a little bridge to guide us from our busy brains into sleep.

It's too far to jump, you see.

So my story will be that bridge,

winding you down,

giving you something soft and simple to focus on.

And before you know it, probably before I finish the story,

you will be asleep.

I'll tell the story twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through.

If you wake later in the night, turn the story back on, or think your way through any part of it that you can remember.

Often just getting one foot back on that bridge
